Chicago Booth CDR is for those who are interested in making money participating in behavioral science studies. Just keep in mind that the opportunities you receive on this platform aren't guaranteed to be consistent, so don't expect to earn a lot.
Best For
mindswarms is for two groups of people: those looking to participate in paid surveys (participants) and those looking to conduct market research (researchers).
Participants should be aware that the platform is focused on video response surveys. You need to be comfortable showing your face if you're going to sign up. It's also worth keeping in mind that this platform is not a full-time job and will not provide a consistent income.
Researchers should know that mindswarms is a full-service research platform. They handle everything for you, from study design to recruitment to reporting. If you're looking for something more DIY, you'll need to look elsewhere (like their sister platform, Fabric).
